Many families in Yingge have been making pottery for generations. How they make pottery and manage their businesses is also evolving with time. What you see here is the Chen Wu-Tu family in Jianshanpu. Chen learned how to make pottery during the Japanese colonial period. The second generation Chen Tung-Shih founded Sheng Tung Kiln in the 1940's, manufacturing flowerpots, teapots, Chinese herb brewing pots, cooking pots, oil urns, table legs and other daily ceramics. Their house on No. 32, Chien Shan Pu Road was their store. It was the highest of its kind in the neighborhood at that time. After nearly 40 years, many houses there have either been refurbished or renovated while this house alone remains the same even though the kiln has stopped running long time ago. The name Sheng Tung Kiln could still be seen on the wall and the ceramics business now is in the hands of the third and fourth generation. The family history lets people see the development of ceramic industry in Yingge in modern time.
